So now we finally have a response from an official Syrian government representative. The Deputy Foreign Minister, Faisal al Mekdad has claimed that
the attack on Syria by Israel is an act of war, claiming further that the Syrian government would retaliate against Israel for its aggression "in its
own time and way."

I am glad that Syria has finally spoken out, but if they attack Israel, i have a feeling that # will hit the fan. Israel would likely retaliate to any
act from Syria, perhaps resulting in a new war, no doubt involving the USA and its allies. What of Syria though? They would likely find alliance with
Iran, but we will see how Syria handles things, considering the current struggle they are in.

"in its own time and way" means they are pretty much not going to do anything directly and instead use a group like hezbollah to fire a couple
missle or blow up a school bus. Syria was no match for Isreal before the revolt now they would be in real trouble. Iran could could yell about it but
that is about it. Syria knew getting completely and publicly in bed with hezbollah would have repercussions but, they need loyal fighters to defend
Assad. This will be a case where Syria just has to suck it up and concentrate on surving another day against it owns people without picking outside
fights.

Israel and it's Zionist warmongers strike again and guess who will fund and fight this war (if and when it comes to it)? Americans! Christians
continue to lick the boot of these racist Jewish supremacists out of fear of being labeled anti-Semitic. Send another 10 billion in "FOREIGN AID" to
Israel so she can continue carpet bombing her neighbors while calling it "DEFENSE"!

Zionist warmongers? Seriously? Israel is taking on a task that the US should have already taken a long time ago. Syria and most of the other muslim
nations in the middle east have done nothing but commit genocide and stir up trouble for everyone since their existance. Kudos to Israel.

And what concern is it of the US and her people what Syria does? Has the US been attacked by Syria? Is Syria a threat to the US and her people? Where
is the threat? Oh right, they're Muslims.

existance.

I can say the same thing about Israel in regards to Palestine. But again, what concern is it of the US? Oh right, they're Muslims.

Kudos to Israel.

I wonder how many innocent women and children are being slaughtered with these bombs? As a Christian, that should deeply disturb you. Kudos to Israel?
For what? Risking a third world war?

If Israel wants to commit acts of war then Israel needs to fight the war it starts on it's own. Billions a year in foreign aid while Americans sleep
on the street and starve so that Israel can carpet bomb it's neighbors.

This will be contained. Just as we thought the North Korean situation would blow up, so will we think (erroneously, mind you) that this too will blow
up. It won't. Syria most probably will not directly retaliate - they have enough trouble with internal enemies rather than starting a war with
another country (which probably is better militarily).

Your comment makes no sense... If Israel were zionist warmongers then today Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon would be obliterated. You do not know what you
say. Better stay silent. Israel is the only reason there is still some stability in an area of the world that is filled with Arab spring and insanity
for the past few years!

Most of you anti-zionists just love hating Israel. You ARE what the bible talks of. And Im not even a believer, but it seems pretty accurate
describing the likes of you, anti-Israel individuals!

Local people reported massive explosions and internet video showed the capital's skyline lit by flashes; Syrian opponents of President Bashar
al-Assad rejoiced at Israel's third raid this year, and second in 48 hours, while anger in Tehran highlighted how Syria's civil war risks spinning
further beyond its borders.

Edit: After looking at it again it appears to be the same strike, two in 48 hours. The first strike appears to have been done earlier in the year.

nations in the middle east have done nothing but commit genocide and stir up trouble for everyone since their existance. Kudos to Israel.
